 Am             C
Here he lies before me,
     F               C
My friend for many years,
    Dm                Am
He saved me from the water,
          Dm            G
Now I'm drowning in my tears,
  Am            E            F             C
Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel,
           Dm Em  F      G
There can be no greater love,

 Am              C                    F            C
He was there to guide me through the follies of my age,
Dm              Am             Dm      G
Always there beside me, everything forgave,
 Am           E        F             C
Held me as a father, showing me the way,
           Dm Em  F      G
There can be no greater love,

 Em                              F
No fear did he have before the storm,
     Em                           F
The fate of others was his only thought,
      Bb                              F
And though it was the way to certain darkness,
    Gm              A          Bm F#m G D E Bm Em A Bm F#m G D
To save my life he gave his own,

        Em   F#m G       A
For my life he gave his own,
           Em   F#m   G       A              D
And these words are writ in stone, where he lies,

   A      D                      F#m Bm
"Greater love hath no man than this,
        G                Em            A
That a man lay down his life for his friend,"

   A      D                      F#m Bm
"Greater love hath no man than this,
        Em               A             D      A D F#m Bm Em A
That a man lay down his life for his friend,"

   A      D                      F#m Bm
"Greater love hath no man than this,
        G                A             D
That a man lay down his life for his friend."
